Descendants wins the weekend. 1.222m from 29 sites gives it the record of breaking into the top 10 with the lowest theater count (29). It's setting itself up for a long, healthy run. Number-wise that's a great result for Breaking Dawn. It failed to reach NM despite 2 years of inflation, but I doubt anyone could care.

[MasterDodsen]

139M... thats it? Wow, I would've thought it would've gotten bigger. Hmm... hopes for 300M are now very, very slim, knowing this franchises frontloadedness.

[The Creator]

Yeah, Twilight just performs in its set range, much like Potter had been doing until Deathly Hallows II. And honestly, after DH2 did what it did in July, this isn't even interesting at all. It just feels so typical.Glad that Potter wins the year: midnight, opening day, opening weekend, domestically, internationally, and worldwide. I'm so proud of Potter....and yes, I hijacked a Twilight thread to discuss Potter. Noctis isn't the only one who can.

[tracygee]

Great result for Twilight, especially considering the book is so controversial/hated in the fandom. No idea why the Potter fans feel it's a competition. Drives me nuts.

You really should have more faith in the Twilight fans, I've been to see it again today and loved it even more. Nearly everybody in the queue was seeing it for the first time and the anticipation was palpable. I think it's the best one yet.

[Chaz]

BD2 should shatter all of the records next year.The Help is only $892,725 behind Bridesmaids now.

Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn--Part 1 opened with a sharp bite around the globe, grossing $139.5 million domestically and $144 million overseas for a franchise best $283.5 million. http://www.hollywood...attinson-264065

Huge Drop in TC + BD1 = Massive Drops.

[John Marston]

sucks for PIB to drop that much when HF2 didn't even open that bigWhat is the projected final gross for HF2?

[CJohn]

60-70M.

[glassfairy]

I am still shocked over Happy Feet 2. I guessed it would do double that.

[Noctis]

HF2 bombed hard, it didn't just simply flop. I saw way more advertising for this than BD1.Anyway, with $139.5m, it should become very interesting to see where this will be heading. On the bright side, this doesn't have much competition (not nearly as much New Moon).

[baumer]

With 139 mill, i think this will have good WOM and it will challenge for 300. I'm still not sure if it will get there but I enjoyed it more the second time. If it follows NM's multiplier, it will hit 290. Anything over 290 will be fantastic. Actually, any number it hits from here out is fantastic. This is a very consistent franchise. I'm thrilled with the numbers.

[baumer]

Already seen it twice?
